Department 56 Snow Village Cousin Eddie in the Morning Figurine — 2.95" Hand-Painted Dolomite, Multicolor

Department 56's Cousin Eddie in the Morning is a 2.95-inch hand-painted dolomite figurine that joins the National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Snow Village collection as a detailed, display-ready holiday accessory.

This miniature captures a memorable character moment from the classic holiday comedy and is crafted to coordinate with Department 56's larger village pieces. Made of fine dolomite and finished by hand, the figurine adds a touch of movie nostalgia and handcrafted charm to tabletop villages, mantel scenes, and collectible displays. Its compact footprint makes it easy to place near lit buildings, vehicle pieces, or other Snow Village characters.

How does this figurine fit into a Snow Village display?

The Cousin Eddie figure is sized to work alongside other Department 56 Snow Village elements, creating continuity in scale and style. It pairs especially well with themed pieces like the Cousin Eddie's RV lit figurine for scene-building that references the film.

• Dimensions: 3.35" L x 1.97" W x 2.95" H for consistent village scale
• Compatible visually with other National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation pieces
• Small footprint ideal for clustered mantel or tabletop displays

What materials and workmanship went into this piece?

This accessory is hand-sculpted in dolomite, a durable ceramic material commonly used in collectible village pieces. Skilled artisans apply paint by hand, bringing fine facial features, clothing textures, and color accents to life without mass-production flatness.

• High-quality dolomite body for sturdy collectible use
• Hand-painted finishes that highlight small details
• Carefully inspected to maintain Department 56 craftsmanship standards

Can I use this with illuminated or electric village components?

Yes — this figurine is designed as a decorative companion to lit and electric Snow Village items but does not contain internal lighting. It enhances scenes with illuminated buildings and vehicles by providing scaled, character-driven interest next to lighted pieces sold separately.

• Pairs visually with lit pieces like Cousin Eddie's RV (sold separately)
• Place near buildings or vehicles for natural scene composition
• No internal wiring — safe to position near lights and cords when arranged carefully

How should I care for and display the figure?

Keep the figurine dust-free and handle it gently to preserve the hand-painted details. Display on stable, level surfaces and avoid exposure to extreme heat or moisture to maintain paint and ceramic integrity.

• Dust with a soft brush or dry cloth; avoid chemical cleaners
• Store in original packaging when not on display to prevent chips
• Avoid direct sunlight and damp locations to protect paint and material

Who is this for: Collectors of Department 56 Snow Village items, fans of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, and anyone building a themed holiday village will appreciate this character-driven accessory. Its small size, collectible-grade materials, and handcrafted finish make it suitable for display on mantels, in curio cabinets, or integrated into larger holiday scenes where movie nostalgia and artisan detail are desired.
